Well, it's been over 2 years now, and my bike is finally done! Here are some specs: Wiseco 890 big-bore kit Benjies tank and seat CB900 front suspension Modified rear suspension Cycle X carb system Norton Commando rear 19" rim Vintage "crossover" exhaust Electronic Speedo

Still on crutches, but I got the tail section on today.

I got a boot today (had ankle surgery last week). Hopefully tomorrow I'll hobble out to the garage to get those numbers on! I'll take a pic and post it by the weekend.

haha! Well I'm waiting to get my number decals in the mail. The tail section has number plates on it and they look super goofy without numbers on them! :) Hopefully they will be here by the weekend!

It is a BCR tank and tail section. They are made of fiberglass.

Havn't posted in forever. I'm building a 1981 CB750K from the ground up, and it's almost done! I've completed the following since the last update: -rear shock mounts relocated -oil cooler modified and installed -speedometer sensor location for digital speedo fabricated and mounted -stainless...

Re: 79 CB750K Dunstall Cafe. "Basement Rat" (more pictures than talking) Good to see the DOHC minion growing! Good luck guys, keep up the good work! Keep making more people realize the potential the "red headed stepchild" has!

He angled some hose (out) and put some velocity stacks on them. His bike was stock framed. It looked awesome. He said it was really easy to tune as well with those mikuni's. My cc's are maxing out the mikuni's. We'll see how it runs, but you're right, it "should" fly. The bike will...

I'll let you know about the carbs as soon as I get it running. I put them on last night. They sure pass the visual horsepower test! As for the rear-sets. They are at a pretty extreme position, but I'm 5'11" and it feels kind of like being on a Gixxer. That's the only thing I can compare it...

Thanks guys, I hope it will get up and go. I'm just praying it will start :)

Hey all, I havn't posted in forever. I've been buidling my engine for the past 4 months or so and have an update..... It's finally in. Got it put in the frame tonight. Have a look-see if you like. www.anatomyofacaferacer.blogspot.com

Allright, a DOHC-er!! Welcome to the site. I like the look of your bike!!! Good luck with the build.

Yes, Benjie does make custom parts for bikes if you supply the specs. And yes, he does hand make tanks, seats and exhaust out of fiberglass or metal. It took awhile only because I told him to take his time with my parts (due to me being a slow poke when building a bike) Thoese are the stock...

Haha, It is very noticable right now, but it is getting powder-coated black soon. I like the look of a lower, smaller headlight as to not take away from the rest of the bike.

Project 81 It's been awhile since I last posted. Here are some updates. I got the tank and seat in from Benjie at www.benjiescaferacer.com. They are mocked up. I also have my rearsets mocked up. Ive installed a mini digital speedometer and finished the front caliper. Here are some pics of...

Re: Tim's XS project - APRIL 29 2009 - spark? we don't need no stinkin' spark! The bike looks awesome!!!! That happened to me when I built my XS750. I hunted for a week for the cause. It ended up being a ground on the handlebar switch. My 77 switch grounded to the metal handlebar ( I had...

There are a few DOHC cafe's out there. They are not near as popular as the previous generation CB's. They have their advantages and disadvantages (just like any other bike). The main disadvantage in most cafe builders' opinions are the vacuum operated carbs. They are a pian in the A$$ to...

Great News! Benjie from www.benjiescaferacer.com emailed me this a.m. to let me know my tank, seat and battery tray are complete! They look great. Hopefully they will be here in KS by next weekend or so. I'm still having a ton of trouble deciding on what color I'm gonna spray the bike. I...

Re: Tim's XS project - APRIL 17 2009 - Yes Officer, the brake light passed safety ;) B-E-A-UTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Major props are due to you my friend. You have one of the coolest XS's I've seen in awhile! I'm going to try to pull off a similar set up with my rear turn signals.

Oh, and the speedo is a 2 1/16" digital one. I think it may be a dakota digital. It is only a speedo (as far as I know). I got it from a buddy of mine who had it on a chopper of his. I plan on getting a sensor that mounts near any metal (magnetic) rotating assembly. i will mount it on my...
